Luminaria 2010
Luminary
in
a Nutshell:
- This
service
project is our only fund raiser
for the year. The proceeds
pay for all of our activites
throughtout the year (campsite
rentals, Vertical
Edge, Courts of Honor,
etc). Because we have only
one fundraiser, we expect all
Scouts and parents to
participate in all phases of the
project.
- There
is
not a minimun number of hours
that Scouts and parents are
asked to participate. We
ask that you contribute all the
time that you can until all of
the work is done, which could be
from 5 hours to 10 hours.
This is a team effort and
we need the dedicated effort of
every team member to make this
project run smoothly and
quickly.
- We
do
track the hours that the Scout
and his family contribute toward
this project. Each year we
set a minimum number of hours a
Scout must work in order to earn
a discount on summer camp
fees. 6 hours was the bar
last year, but that bar could
change this year. It is
based on the amount of work and
the time it takes to get it
done.
- Be
sure
to sign in (Scout and family
members) on both the assembly
day and the delivery day so that
your hours of participation can
be tracked.
- Dress
in
Class B shirts if possible.
It can be chilly outside
and in the building during
assembly, so dress in layers.
Once you get the rhythm of
the assembly line, you'll warm
up!
- Have
fun!
If this is your first time
participating, you will be
amazed at how well your Scout
works as a team to get the job
done quickly and efficiently.
We will mix experienced
Scouts and parents with new
Scouts and parents to teach
you the system of
assembling a luminary kit.
You will be surprised at
how easy it is to pick up and
how much fun it actually is.
- There
will
be teams assembled for the
delivery day. Parents will
drive vehicles to bring
Scouts on a set route so they
can deliver luminaries to homes
in our designated
neighborhood.
